Answer 1

Megan,
Here is a website where you can ask a vet any medical questions you may have. http://www.petsdoc.com/html/askthevet/askthevet.html
I'll make it short and simple for the rest of your questions.
It depends on the breed of rabbit when you can breed them. Small breeds no sooner than 6 months old. Large breeds no sooner than 9 months old. My advice is not to breed until you have done some studying and understand the responsibility involved in bringing new baby bunnies into the world. I am an experienced breeder and without my vet and a very large amount of money, some of my rabbits would have died when they tried to deliver!
If your bunny is short haired, a soft cat brush should do the trick....every day.
Yes, have a vet who knows rabbits.
Check teeth often and clip nails at least once every 6 weeks.
I hope that you are looking for websites that address proper rabbit care, it's important that no matter what age you are you get the information that you and your bunnies need.

Answer 2

Take her to the vet, they will give you something for the mites. Ideally she shouldn't have babies until she's 6 months old or a year old BUT she CAN get pregnant at this young age so be CAREFUL. You brush a bunny with a wire brush and a small comb, unless it's longhaired then you'll need the type of brush they use on long haired cats.

She would have average 4 to 6 babies BUT it CAN be more.

YES she needs to go to the vet, she needs rabies shots and to be spayed among other things.

Don't clip the nails unless you;re going to hold her a lot, and just give her a lot of birch wood to chew on. You really SHOULD take her to the vet and buy a book about bunnies, you don't know ANYthing about having one.

Answer 3

You should separate your male and female for a while, at least until the mites are gone. The female rabbit should be at least 6 months old before you put her with the male. You shouldn't have to clean your rabbit, except for the occasional brushing (which they love). You never really know how many babies they will have, it can change from litter to litter. Rabbits don't need shots, but a check up at the vets office wouldn't be a bad idea before you put the male and female together. It is always a good idea to have the nails clipped, especially if they are indoors.

Good luck with them.

Answer 4

You need to get a vet for your bunnys, theyre just like any other pet. You should clip theyre nails ... pet stores sell nail clippers for bunnies. Its also very important to check theyre teeth because they can grow to long and curl which would b extremely painful for them. The vet would check that. Bathing a bunny is not usually a good idea... in general theyr clean animals ... but if theyr very dirty a pet store would probably have shampoo, but bathing them should not be a regular thing. Its important to brush them though ... again the pet store would have brushes for bunnies.
I dont think you should breed your bunny .... it seems like you dont really know how to take care of the ones you have and if your breeding them just to sell .... I wouldnt ... theres so many bunnys "set free" that end up dying and shelters are overrun with bunnies

Answer 5

first off go to the pet store for mite medicine,Yes they half to be about 6 months old before she have babies,so does the male.Just bathe them like u would a dog,but keep the soap out of their eyes{it could make them sore}She could have up to 6 to 10 at a time.I use to raise rabbits.and no u don't have to get a vet for her to have babies,they know what to do.But put some hay in a wooden box so she can make a nest.yes u have to take them to a vet for clipping their nails and teeth. Good luck with ur bunny's

Answer 6

you need a Bunny Book, go to the pet store and BUY ONE!

And don't have babies until the fur mites are gone, the vet can help you with that.
And what are you going to do with the babies? Sell them? Cuz lots of people out there that will want to buy your baby bunnies will buy them to FEED TO THEIR SNAKES (yeah, I know, gross!).
And yes, you need to go to the vet for your bunnies and bunnies DO need their nails and SOMETIMES their teeth clipped and checked--but the vet should do that, NOT YOU.

Good luck, really, get a book and read it and take those poor things to the VET

Answer 7

Clip nails, yes.

Check teeth, yes.

Why would you want to breed bunnies? Do you have any idea of what you are in for? You don't know how to take care of the ones you have already.

See if you can get some information from House Rabbit Society by putting that in on an internet search.

Answer 8

You shouldn't breed a rabbit if you don't know what you are doing. There are so many rabbits that need homes right now. Please don't add to the overpopulation problem.

Answer 9

brush it, or spray it with a hose, then clean it. my bunny luved the hose. but only wen it was on sprinklke, not jet, (u'l kil it) they clean themselves by licking, so i wudnt wury.
